Information A quadratic function is a relation that can be written in the standard form , where a β 0. It can also be written in vertex form, π¦=π (π₯ββ) 2 +π, where a οΉ 0. For a quadratic function in vertex form, π¦=π (π₯ββ) 2 +π , where a β 0, the graph has the shape of a parabola has its vertex at (h, k) has an axis of symmetry with the equation x = h In π¦=π (π₯ββ) 2 +π , where a β 0, the value of a determines whether the parabola opens upward or downward. If a > 0, the parabola opens upward. If a < 0, the parabola opens downward.
6
Information The location of the vertex and the direction the parabola opens determine the number of x-intercepts. The graph of a quadratic function can have two x-intercepts, one x-intercept or no x-intercepts, as illustrated in the table below.

Example 1a: Solutions The vertex form π¦=π (π₯ββ) 2 +π tells us the vertex is (h, k). In this case, then, the vertex is at (4, 5).

Example 2 Try this on your own first!!!! Finding Maximum Revenue The ERCP is planning a Chili Cook-off as a fundraising event. a) The students were trying to decide how much to charge for one bowl of chili. One student claimed, βThe more we charge the more money we makeβ. Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

Example 2a: Solutions The ERCP is planning a Chili Cook-off as a fundraising event. a) The students were trying to decide how much to charge for one bowl of chili. One student claimed, βThe more we charge the more money we makeβ. Do you agree or disagree? Explain. Vary Possible Answer: Disagree because, as the bowls become more and more expensive, less people will buy it.
13
Example 2b: Solutions As we proceed through this question, refer to the steps in your workbook. Revenue is the product of price sales. The revenue, R, in dollars, can be modelled by the quadratic function , where p is the price for a bowl of chili. What price produces the greatest revenue? What is the maximum revenue? Price ($) x Revenue ($) y 2nd trace 4: maximum A price of $3.00 will produces a maximum revenue of $600. y Revenue ($) x Price ($)

Example 4 Try this on your own first!!!! Determining the Height of a Football Field Goal Kick A field goal kicker in a CFL game attempts to kick a field goal. At a distance of 20 m from the kicker, the football reaches a maximum height of 40 m above ground. The football hits the ground at a distance of 40 m from the kicker. a) Let y represent the height of the football, in metres, and x represent the horizontal distance from the kicker, in metres. Determine the vertex form equation that describes the relationship between height and distance from the kicker. Step 1: Use the coordinates of the vertex to find h and k in

Example 4 Try this on your own first!!!! b) A field goal is scored if the football goes over a 3 m high cross bar and between the goal posts. If the kicker aimed the football between the goal posts, did he kick the football high enough to clear the cross bar, at a distance of 39 m?

Example 4b: Solution A field goal is scored if the football goes over a 3 m high cross bar and between the goal posts. If the kicker aimed the football between the goal posts, did he kick the football high enough to clear the cross bar, at a distance of 39 m? 2nd trace 1: value x = 39 y = 3.9 m Yes, he did kick the football high enough to clear the cross bar of 3 m. The height of the ball was 3.9 m.

Need to Know: The vertex form of a quadratic equation is π¦= π (π₯ββ) 2 +π, where a β 0. If π>0, the parabola is opening upward. If π<0, the parabola is opening downward. The vertex of the parabola is (h, k). The equation for the axis of symmetry is π₯=β. The vertex of the graph and direction the graph opens determine the number of x-intercepts. A graph has two x-intercepts if the graph crosses the x-axis twice. A graph has one x-intercept if the graph touches the x-axis. A graph has zero x-intercepts if the graph does not cross the x- axis.
26
Need to Know: The number of x-intercepts a graph has depends on where the vertex is located and the direction the parabola opens. A graph has 2 x-intercepts if the graph crosses the x-axis twice. A graph has 1 x-intercept if the graph touches the x-axis once. A graph has 0 x-intercepts if the graph does not cross the x- axis. Youβre ready! Try the homework from this section.
